MEDIEVAL SCULPTURE.

An Interesting Specimen Of thee Art Dis.
covered in IN Old English Church.
An interesting antiquarian discovery
has just been made in Dctling Church.
Kent, Eng. In the course Of taking
down the outer wall of lea2Ao on the
north side for the purpose of widening
the aisle, it was necessary to remove Il
stone. which seemed to he nothing
more than doorstep at the bottom of
small early English door; that had
been inserted into the wall. and subsc.
quently closed up with flints. This
stone proved to be slab Of Bethers-
den marble, and had evidently been
the upper portion of coffin-lid, meas
uriny two feet four inches and half
where it was broken of. 1t was per-
fectly fat on the top as it lay; but on
being lifted up. disclosed on the under
surface a half-length figure of priest.
in bold relief, with the hands joined as
in prayer, the whole contour of tho
face and head being we'll preserved,
and the features beautifully sharp.
Unfortunately, from the contact with
the damp earth in which it was en-
betlded, the right shoulder had scaled
away, and the head. though entire. had
from the same cause become detached
from the flat stone. No letters or
marks can be traced round the head;
nor has the lower part of the figure
been found. 1t has probably been ig-
norantly or wantonly utilized. as this
was. for the paving of some portion OF
the floor, and so will be past recovery.
This choice representation of medicval
sculpture clearly belongs to the twelfth
ccntury.-N. J. Ps.

THE MoNARcH's MOTTO.

Once a mighty potentate
sPlaced above his palacs fate,
Golden letters-bright and clear:
None may pass, or enter here,
Who no kindly deed hath wrought,
Or some paupers blessing caught
Warriors fierce-in blood-stained pride
Read its words and turned aside;
Princes-rich in power and gold
Felt its message, clear and cold;
AL turned back, and none returned
Till its permit they had earned.
Soon in all that roomy land
Blessings rose on every hand;
Great men made their kindness sure,
Rich men helped the sick and poor.
Words and works, in sweetness blent,
Clothed the land in glad content.
Men who came and turned away
Learned what good in kindness lay:
Hard hearts cursed its terms, but went
Finding in its work, content
So. ere many years and days.
All the land was filed with praise.
Then each heart and thankful tongue
With the monarch's praises rung,
Thankful thought and earnest prayer
Paid their tributes to his care;
Anchored in each subjects soul,
Each, a part and all, . whole.
Rich in years but poor in pride,
There at last the monarch died;
Wide the pcarly portals flew
That his soul might enter through,
While upon Heavens arches wrought
Cleaned the same familiar thought.
So, when each his race had run,
Came his people, one by one,
Greeting with welcome smile
Its familiar words and style,
Thus the King upon his throne,
Gave Heavens password to his own.
Still upon the Heavenly dome,
Greeting each who journeys home
While thank-ofierings angels bring
And gold harps and anthems ring
Shines the message Of the King.
Il Edgar Jones.

WcToRIA.s new COINAGE.

Why 1t Win BE the Most Permanent
Record Of Her Jubilee.
The effigy of Queen Victoria found
on all the coins struck during her
Majesty's reign represents her as she
appeared when fifty years younger
than at present. Advantage has been
taken Ut the present jubilee year to is
sue An entirely new coinage, with an
effigy of the Queen as the people now
know her. The Queen appears wear
ing the star and riband of the orders
of the Garter and the Victoria and Al
bert. The words '.Victoria Del Ora,
tia Britanniarum Regina. Fidci Defes-
sor." appear on all the new coins. ar
ranged so as to suit the size and re.
quirements of each one. In the new
efigy her Majesty appears crowned
with vail depending from the back
of the head. The new figure is .
life-like portrait. and the whole COIN
age must be regarded as very satisfac-
tory from a numismatic standpoint
The reverses of the new coins vary
greatly. Some. rs the sovereign and
crown piece, continue to bear the very
noble figure of St. George and the
Dragon. as originally designed by Pts
trucci. This design it is interesting
to trace from the date of Henry Will,
when it appeared in very Gothic
form, to its present classic rendering.
due to Pistrucci. The reverse of the
modern English shillings and smaller
coins usually bears words or figures
signifying the value of the coin.
These are surrounded by q wreath
and surmounted by a crown. In the
new coinage this design is replaced
by the royal arms. The new
half-crown bears the original reverse,
which has been retained as being one
of considerable merit. It consists of
the royal arms, with the elegant
arched crown surrounded by the gar
ter. which is again inclosed in the deli
cate network of the collar of the or
der. The form and the double form.
new coins, bear on the reverse an ex-
ceedingly effective design, composed
of four crowned shields bearing the
arms of the United Kingdom arranged
in manner somewhat similar to
those on the present form. The
shields are separated from each other
by four scepters radiating from the
star of the Order of the Garter, which
occupies the center of the coins The
device has been traced back to the
time of the Saxon Kings, and its
beauty attracted the notice of Thomas
Simon, who modified it for the COIN
age of Charles II.
The issue of an entirely new gold
and silver coinage by a monarch after
a reign of fifty years is believed to be
unexampled. Medals have been struck
under similar conditions, but new
coinage has not been issued. No
more permanent record of her
Majesty's jubilee than this new coin
age can be conceived. As we have
vivid representations of Alexander the
Great and of the long line of the
Roman Emperors on their coins. which
are common at the present time, long
after the majority of their edifices and
other works have passed away, so
future generations may trace the prog.
ress Of the reign of Queen Victoria il
the two distinct issues Of the imperial
coinage. - Chicago Tribune.
